"Aaaaaaah! I get to go to school with BOTH of my baby sister AND baby brother! Can life GET any better!?" The sister of both Haru and Ruby shouted as she wrapped her arms around her younger siblings. Haru rolled his eyes, while Ruby looked like she was about to push their sister off... after an embarrassing call to their father, they had arranged for their stuff to be sent to Beacon since they couldn't get home before and back before the Large Bullhead that would fly all of the students to Beacon would pick them up.
"Yippeeeee..." Haru said with heavy sarcasm.
"Please stop... can't... breath... Yang." Ruby barely managed to say.
Yang, there elder sister, was a blond haired girl... like Haru she had inherited both of their hair color from their shared father. She had long wavy golden blond hair that reached her firm behind, even he could admit that her butt was a fine ass and they were half-siblings by blood... Yang didn't share the same mother as Ruby and Haru. She was an inch taller than Haru, with about the same skin color, a moon pale, as both Haru and Ruby. She had a slim hourglass figure with easily D-cup breasts... he did Yang's laundry and had SEEN her bras. It wasn't strange for him to know her breast size. She had lavender eyes, a strange eye color, but not as strange as silver.
She wore a light brown leather jacket that was open at her breasts, letting them come out of her jacket. The jacket was short sleeves with black cuffs with gold buttons, and it showed off her belly and belly button, with a firm stomach region. She wore black short shorts, VERY short shorts that were tighter than they should be, and over that she wore a belt with a light brown skirt connected to it that was open in the front, with her burning heart symbol on the right side. Underneath that was a long white hip cape. Underneath her jacket was a yellow tank top with her burning heart symbol in black over the left tit, where her heart was. She wore long orange, awesome, socks that went up to above her knees, but the right sock was pulled down a bit to under her knee. She wore knee high leather boots with golden zippers running up the side. On her left leg was a purple cloth peeking out.
Finally, she wore an orange scarf around her neck.
Her weapon was worn on her wrists, and was currently in its inactive state. They were golden bracers with black outlines, and underneath that she wore black fingerless gloves.
She was a hand to hand fighter with abnormal strength.
Physically speaking, she was even stronger than Haru. Yang was just naturally gifted with an abnormal amount of strength, though they had different fighting styles.
"Sheesh, wasn't it just yesterday when you were both begging for some Yang lovin?" Yang asked, and Haru shrugged.
"Oh trust me, I can't be more excited..." Ruby said in a down tone, before she was smacked in the back of the head by Haru.
"Sheesh, wasn't it just yesterday when you said you wanted to go to Beacon?" Haru asked Ruby, who was holding the back of her head and looking at him with betrayal.
"Why?" Ruby asked simply.
"Why... why are you such a sad sack?" Haru asked, with Yang wrapping an arm around his shoulder.
"Yeah, little bro here has a point. What's with the sad sack face you have there?" Yang asked with a grin on her face.
"... I was moved ahead two years... you should understand why I'm worried." Ruby said as she looked at Haru, who blinked.
"... OOH! Now I get it." Haru said while nodding his head.
They were 15, and every other first year would be 17. They were two years younger, but for Haru that wasn't as big of a deal. He didn't have any friends at Signal besides Ruby anyway. Long story short, a girl he rejected had started a bad rumor about him being a bixesual sexual deviant, and he just couldn't get the rumors to end. He didn't want to date the girl, and she had gotten her revenge and his reputation had never recovered since then.
"Okay, you might get it, but I feel left out." Yang said with a raised eyebrow.
"We are 15, you are 17. Everyone in our year will be 17, we kind of stick out like sore thumbs." Haru said as he pointed between himself and Ruby.
"Well I bet everyone will think of you as the bee's knees." Yang said with her tone as chipper as it always was. Haru palmed his face, before he groaned and touched his stomach. Yang's eyes widened for a moment, before she wrapped an arm over his shoulder.
Ruby frowned at this.
Every since they were young, Yang had been... overprotective over Haru after something that happened when they were kids. Ruby didn't remember what had happened, and neither Haru nor Yang were all to willing to talk about it. All she knew was that was part of the reason why Haru's body had those scars on it. Just like how their father was overprotective of all of them, Yang had a FIERCE mama bear attitude towards Haru.
When she had heard of a girl that had spread nasty rumors about Haru, she had tracked that girl down and kicked her ass. Ruby knew about this, but Haru had never been informed that Yang had exacted vengence against the one that caused Haru's reputation to fall to such a bad level.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Haru said to wave off Yang's worry, seeing the look on her face.
"Well... okay, but tell me if something is wrong." Yang told him with a smile on his face. Haru rubbed his stomach for a bit, and it seemed to help his air sickness for a bit.
"I'm going to go to the bathroom, I'll be back in a bit." Haru said for a moment as he started to walk away from his siblings. Haru passed by another blond that was starting to run towards a trashcan, it would seem his air sickness wasn't an uncommon thing. Haru's air sickness would be easy for him to overcome if he could smoke his pipe, but he was in a Bullhead and surrounded by people. Since smoking dust was considered strange, he would rather... Faunus.
Haru blinked for a moment, his air sickness forgotten when he saw a girl.
A Faunus girl.
Haru started to walk towards the girl, just as the window showed a screen that was about a news report about the White Fang.
The girl was a beauty about the same height as Haru himself. She had very slightly tanned skin, though still on the paler side. She had the same hourglasses figure that he had come to expect from the girls going to Beacon, and she had a good tone to her body. She had long black hair that went down to her waist, as black as black could be. She also had bright yellow eyes, much like a cat, and she had a more angular face like that of a cat. She was frowning, which seemed to be her normal face. She had on a black corset around her waist that was open at the stomach to show her belly button, and her chest would have been showing if she didn't have a tight white top covering her front' Strapped to her back was a metal magnetic weapon holder, like the one connected to the back of his belt to hold his own weapon. She had a sword with a pistol-like handle inserted into a cleaver sheath.
She also wore white short shorts even shorter than Yang's back shorts. Going up the front of each leg was a zipper, strange to him. She had on black stockings that covered her entire legs, and after they went past her knee they gained a purple tint. On the side of her legs were a silver lion's head-like symbol that appeared to be... on fire? On her forearms she had black straps, and on her left bicep to forearm she had a black cloth attached to her with a metal band. She wore black shoes with higher heels.
The most important thing on top of her head was her black bow, which didn't really hide much from his eyes.
He could see the bulge in the back of the bow, and how the shape seemed to imitate cat ear bulges. The occasional twitch of the bow let him know that ears were underneath that bow.
"The White Fang are really stupid don't you agree?" Haru asked as he stopped next to the girl.
"They are just misguided, though their goal is still—" The girl started to speak with a hot tone of voice that showed anger.
"Their goal is getting further away from them. I want Humans and Faunus to get along, and they aren't doing it right. They are just hurting people the way they were hurt. If you kill somebody, their friends will feel pain and kill you. Then your friends will feel pain and kill your killers. They aren't helping Faunus get REAL peace... just an imitation. Hatred will run deeper than ever before if they keep this up... Haru Rose." Haru introduced himself as he extended a hand to the black haired girl. She looked at him for a second, before she extended her hand and grabbed his.
"Blake Belladonna... and wise words, but can you expect anyone to just... forgive those that hurt them?" Blake asked, while Haru shrugged his shoulders.
"Personally, I've done it before. I mean, I came over here knowing what you are... I was just wondering why you hid it... oh don't get all defensive. I like Faunus." Haru said when she visibly tensed, with her eyes widening in horror that her secret was discovered on day one. Haru mentioning that he liked Faunus seemed to be what got her to sigh in relief.
"You won't... tell anyone will you?" Blake asked, and Haru shrugged his shoulders.
"Your business, I don't care what you do. I would just rather people be honest with themselves. You know, your 'disguise' isn't very good. Your eyes, face, and even the bow give you away." Haru told her, and she had the decency to blush. Haru noticed there weren't very many people around, and Yang wasn't there to dig into him, so taking out his pipe Haru sucked in dust, before he breathed out a thin trail of flames. Blake's eyesbrow raised at the strange way to use dust, while Haru felt his stomach settle.
He loved his pipe, he really did.
"You're really... wise for your age." Blake managed to say, since she noticed that he seemed to be a year or two younger than her.
"What can I say, maybe I was a Sage in a previous life." Haru hinted with a grin on his face. Blake nodded at him for a second, before she sighed.
"What made you really want to come and talk to me?" Blake asked after a moment, when she noticed that he wasn't leaving her side.
"... My Big Sister... she is a bit overprotective... very... very overprotective. She was against me becoming a Huntsman... no matter how strong I get. She thinks I need to be protected... she trusts my twin to protect herself more than me." Haru said with a deep frown on his face.
He loved Yang, he loved all of his family... but his Dad and Yang both hated his desire to become a Huntsman. Ruby was left out of this, and Haru didn't want to cause tense air between Yang and Ruby by telling her what they were trying to pressure him into doing. Likewise, Yang didn't try and pressure Haru out of his goal when Ruby was around.
"You are really open with your situations." Blake pointed out, and Haru noticed they were flying over the water and towards a cliff that had several waterfalls crashing down into the water below. Sitting pretty on top of the cliff, near the edge actually, was an older styled school with a very tall building in the middle that glowed with a slightly green light near the top.
"Being open with others builds trust." Haru told her, and she smirked for a moment.
"I can see why your sister protects you. That way of thinking will get you killed." Blake told him, her smirk still in place. She was trying to make a friendly joke, but she had failed.
"No... my sister... here." Haru said as he lifted up his shirt, surprising Blake for a moment. Then just as her eyes widened, they widened again.
This time in horror.
Littering Haru's torso were scars, on the right side of his ribs were four long gashes that looked like he had been attacked by a large animal. On the front of his chest were eight slashes in a cross formation, with one set of slashes going from the middle of his chest to near his belly button. The other one went from one side of his waist to his shoulder, and on the left side of his ribs was a large bite mark that looked like it had come from a large wolf. Haru turned around for a moment, and Blake gasped when she saw his back was had even more scars on it.
Only this time, there was a larger scar than the others along with the smaller, but still big, scars. This scar was more fresh, where the others had faded a bit with time. This scar on the other hand was a completely straight cut from his shoulder to his waist.
"What... what happened?" Blake asked, and she did note that Haru had excellent muscle tone with great ab definition. He was lean muscled, but she could tell that from the tight black shirt that he pulled down. That drew her attention to the four slashes on Haru's arm.
"When I was a little kid... my Sister had loaded me and my twin up in a wagon and walked into a forest. We were napping, so we never knew what she did... she walked for hours. Then Grimm attacked her... there were three beowolves... and I woke up to see them going towards her. I pushed Yang out of the way and my Semblance activated for the first time, killing one of the Grimm... the other two got me." Haru said as he recounted the tale. If he wanted Blake to open up to him more, so that he could get her to stop hiding who she was... he hated when people hid who they were.
He was an ex-ninja, so hating people that hid who they were was kind of weird for him.
"You aren't a kid anymore, surely she realizes that?" Blake asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You hold your dying little brother in your arms and see if you can escape that mental scarring. Ruby doesn't remember the incident, and if it weren't for our Uncle Qrow we would all be dead... I went into a coma for a month after that, and I bare these scars to this day." Haru said with his fist gripped.
Yang... ever since then she had become super overprotective of him. He was the sibling that she had nearly gotten killed, who she had seen dying and bleeding in her arms... who had fallen into a coma. Ruby had almost died to, but so had Yang... Haru on the other hand had been severely hurt. His hero instincts had woken him up and made him want to defend his family. His powerful life force had sustained his young life, but he had really almost died. It was the event that made their Father overprotective of his kids, and Yang very overprotective over Haru.
She looked at Haru and saw the little sibling that needed to be protected.
She saw his scars and was reminded of why she wanted to protect him.
She thought of him fighting, remembered his body bleeding on her, and "protected" him from fighting.
She saw him bleed and she would panic over his health.
"Sounds... rough." Blake said awkwardly. She had never met a person that was so willing to open up to others before, while she herself hid away who she was. She actually felt BAD that she hid who she was around this boy.
"Well, I better get going. Yang is going to start wondering where I am soon." Haru said, and he turned around. He was surprised when Blake grabbed him by the wrist.
At the exact same time that the Bullhead lifted.
Blake and Haru went tumbling onto the ground, with Blake landng on top of Haru with her hands going to his wrists. Her moderate chest pressed up against his pecs, and both of their eyes widened when her lips crashed into his. Blake pushed off of Haru seconds later, before they noticed that people were... staring at them. Haru and Blake started to walk away from each other, both of them with heavy blushes on their faces.
He needed to find his sisters before they started to worry.
